Is Tom Danielson the next great American hope? He's been improving as
La Vuelta goes on.

Lance certainly seemed to think so. Realistically, though, he's the
best we have. Leipheimer is unlikely to improve any more, and Zabriskie
is unlikely to ever contend for GC. Flandis and Hamilton are basically
toast, especially considering F still has to have a hip operation even
if he's cleared to ride again.

I suppose Saul Raisin still has a chance. He's young and talented enough.

Definitely! but not in 3 weeks stage racing. More like a better
version of GH with a decent sprint in his legs.

More like the previous great American hope. He's turning 29 next year
and hasn't been convincing at all at the races where he should finally
show he's LA's successor. 1 week stage races like Paris-Nice, he's
able to win. Vuelta/Tour/Giro is out of his league.

Why doesn't he just prepare as well as Armstrong?

You do know "to prepare" is a dangerous word in cycling?

First, you have to be motivated.

Super-motivated.

I thought Americans were always super-motivated because they have to work
hard and aren't given money by the government like everybody here in
Europe.
